"In language as unadorned and as powerful as a blow to the face, Kareska unfolds the story of a man driven from his home and into a terrifying world of endless cold, loneliness, and savagery. Kareska's is perhaps the most convincingly-drawn post-apocalyptic Iron Age since Russell Hoban's landmark Riddley Walker. Every turn of the page reveals some new terror and some new delight. Wonderful!"

—Pinckney Benedict, author of Miracle Boy and Other Stories and Dogs of God.
